Gattuso's team managed to win at San Siro against Milan, thanks to a team performance that relaunched the Neapolitans in the race for the Champions League.
The Azzurri were proactive and convincing from the start, managing to contain the few accelerations of the Rossoneri. The match was unlocked in the 49th minute thanks to a perfect counterattack, concluded by Politano. The Napoli manages the match well and a super Ospina saves the result on Rebic; the Croatian is sent off by Pasqua at the end. The Azzurri, therefore, have 50 points in the standings and are level with Roma, hoping once again to secure a place in the next Champions League. It is worth highlighting the great performance of the defensive department, which seemed very attentive and precise; excellent news for Gattuso in view of the end of the season.

It's raining cats and dogs at Napoli. After missing Sunday night's late game against Roma, the tests performed this morning at the Pineta Grande Clinic confirmed the most pessimistic impressions: Amir Rrahmani has a high-grade tear of the biceps femoris in his left thigh. The clinic's verdict...
Enthusiasm, ambition, and a desire to immediately serve the team. Alisson Santos, 23, a Brazilian striker who joined Napoli in the winter transfer window from Sporting Lisbon, introduced himself to the Azzurri fans with words that blended emotion and determination. "I'm very happy to be here; it's a dream for me. Napoli is a great club, and I hope to help them achieve our goals," he explained, speaking of his new adventure.
His debut is already behind him, having played half an hour in the Coppa Italia against Como and been responsible for one of the final penalties, despite elimination. "I'm happy with my debut but obviously sad about the result, because I wanted to advance with the team. But now it's time to work and look ahead," he said, immediately demonstrating his mentality and sense of team spirit. It wasn't even his first time at the Maradona: "Tuesday was my second time here; I'd already played in this stadium with Sporting in the Champions League. But playing for Napoli is an incredible feeling, feeling the passion of the Neapolitan fans."
